"The current prime minister would definitely make a strong candidate who could win the election. But no final decisions have been taken either by Skvernelis or the party yet," Ramūnas Karbauskis said in an interview with the daily paper.

The LVŽS leader said Skvernelis would likely be asked to continue as prime minister, because "it would be stupid and unwise to replace the prime minister who is doing his job well".

"It will be up to the LVŽS to decide whom to propose as the next prime minister after the presidential election. That decision will hardly depend on how well a candidate did in the election," Karbauskis said.
